Fan Mail Friday – Birthdays, thank yous and more!

By Anna Griffin // //

Hello,

Today we have an exciting Fan Mail Friday because we are closing out birthday month (August) in mid- September (so fun!) and we get to hear from new Griffinites for the first time. We love catching up with you each week, finding out all of the things happening in your life and seeing your beautiful projects!

Speaking of beautiful projects, we have a lot of amazing things to show you next week, and we hope that you will join us on Monday, September 12th for our Facebook Live with HSN at 11:30am. On Friday, you can tune in for Finishing School Live at 12pm EST right here on our website!

Let’s see this week’s mail!

Diane sent us the most beautiful, dimensional birthday card! She said that it was her first one from the Birthday Celebrations Card Making Kit, and we think that it is just so gorgeous! The shades of pink and green are pretty, and the Baroque Frame Dies pair in the most lovely way!

We are so happy to see new Griffinite, Roxanne here on Fan Mail Friday! She sent in a beautiful For My Friend shaped card for her first card to us. Thank you!

Our friend from Tampa, Florida Vickey said, “Have a rockin’ Halloween!” and she is so excited to join us for Create 8 in November.

We received two pretty, pink cards from Cathy! She sent a thank you card for her Win It Wednesday prize, and a wonderful birthday card that read: There’s something fabulous about your birthday {must be you!}.

Debbie sent a swivel and pop birthday card with a note about how excited she is that her request for poinsettias was heard and created!

It’s always wonderful to hear from Robin! She has been busy making Hanukkah cards for a non-profit’s silent auction and is counting down the days until Create 8! We are going to have the best time!

How cute is little Miss Sophia Rose? Can you believe that she designed this birthday card all by herself? Her nana, Darlene loves crafting with her and sending cards to friends and family!

There are so many projects and so little time! Being able to connect with this amazing community is the highlight of our week, and we hope that you enjoy getting to know your fellow Griffinites talents, crafting and even family. We want to send a big thank you to everyone who mailed something to us this week, and next week is your chance to send a card, letter or paper project to us. Our address is 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324, and please be sure to put Attn: Fan Mail Friday on your envelope so everything gets to the right place! We are looking forward to hearing from you!

Love,

Anna

  • Beautiful cards. I really loved Diane’s dimensional card and Roxanne’s blue card. Great job everyone!

  • Beautiful as always. I love seeing what everyone makes. Looks like Sophie was blowing you a kiss Anna.

    I agree with Vicki, although I am not a Veteran I am married to one. And according to one source that makes me half a Veteran. HA HA. Perhaps you could do for the Veterans what you do for each state so ALL those incredible Veterans can connect with each other. Thank you for your service and sacrifice Veterans!!

    Happy Crafting!!

  • Newbie here with a new Empress and love seeing all the things! 🙂 Thanks for sharing them.

  • Always enjoy seeing what others are creating. There are so many gifted crafters out there. I get some great ideas for projects.

  • Love today’s inspiration, Anna! You are correct, Miss Sophis Rose is truly too cute! She must be your youngest Griffinite. ❤️. Thank you for all your shares and have a wonderful weekend. 😃

  • Hi, by any chance will there ever be another sale on the purse case for the mini empress die cut and embossing machine. I once saw in on HSN..
    Thank you

  • I missed Fan Mail Friday yesterday due to a medical procedure but so very thankful that you record them so it can be watched at a later time or day!!
    Thank you Anna for all your video sessions and thank you for sharing all the lovely, fun and unique cards that your fan friends send in to you. I look forward to it every week!❤️

  • Hello to all the beautiful cardmakers. I do love Diane’s Birthday Celebration Card with the gorgeous pink roses.

  • Everyone such beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us and little Sophia Rose so cute.

  • Think maybe Miss Sophia Rose took the spotlight this week with her beautiful card that she made for you. Just can’t wait to see how far she goes with cardmaking – hopefully she will be able to help her Grandmother with the Christmas cards this year.
    Have to say, everyone did a beautiful job with the cards Anna shared with us.

  • Thank you so much for all you do and have done for me and so many others in my life. Fan mail Friday is the best and always fun to hear from all the Griffinites, the best there is! Also, you always look so beautiful, love todays beautiful shirt.

    By any chance, will you be doing another small card set for Christmas, think they were about 3×4 maybe. Used them for thank you cards for several years, but alas, they are gone.

    And, as long as I am pestering you, is there any possibility of Halloween cards? There are so many wonderful ‘left overs’ that it is necessary for me to make some of these cards myself, and most aren’t that great admittedly, but they would be helped if there was a card base.

    Once again, thank you for bringing so much joy into my life.

  • Thank you, everyone, for sharing your interest, efforts and clever, beautiful cards. I enjoy looking at all the amazing ways the die cuts and embellishments are combined into lovely creations.

  • Aww, Sophia is so cute and her card is fabulous! I can’t wait to see what she send in next week!! 🙂 Such lovely projects everyone! Thanks for showing these to us, Anna!! Happy weekend all!

  • Awe so cute Sofia Rose, a Griffinite in the making. All of the cards and project are so beautiful. Everyone have a great relaxing weekend.

  • As usual, all of the cards are lovely but the one that caught my eye was Roxanne’s creation with the marbled paper; what an eye for color and design, Roxanne!

  • Love all the cards
    Love seeing Sophia Rose & all young crafters
    Love and a BIG THANK YOU to ALL Veterans in our Anna Griffin group
    (My beloved husband served as well.)
    Thank you Anna for serving America with your talents to have a great company. Yes we pay for your products but your company is still serving because you, Anna , share your time and talents and give aways!
    This is a most loving group and I have so many precious friends across America and hopefully we will craft in Heaven together ! 🥰

  • What heartfelt cards and notes, all for our favorite creator of such awesome materials. I can’t wait to try some of the techniques shown, so of which i have forgotten for a while. Keep them coming, Anna.

  • It was so much fun to see the card I made for Anna on her video. I sent her an album I wrote and produced and sang. It was in dedication to my son. The profits go to Autism Speaks. Thank you for the shout out.

  • Happy birthday I know it’s belated birthday and I am sorry all the cards are just lovely

  • Another wonderful Fan Mail Friday filled with cards and letters. Enjoyed it and thank you for sharing Anna💖

  • Beautiful, I love how the 3D DIES look on printed card stock it give a card extra texture and of course the 3D DIES always look GORGEOUS cut on Anna’s GOLD FOIL CARDSTOCK.

  • Someday, Anna I will send you a FMF card. Always a blessing to see everyone’s talent.

  • Hello Anna & Team

    So many beautiful cards and such love on display. Well done Miss Sophia Rose on her design skills! Blessings to all xoxo

  • THE VOLUMN
    was perfect this morning on the video. Maybe it has something to do with Anna’s microphone being up a little closer. At any rate,, keep up the keeping up and THANK YOU for the wonderfully creative card and scarpbooking products. Love them all. And Fan Mail Friday is always a blessing.

  • I love the rocker witch card. I’m going to have to try that one out. I have lot’s of Anna Halloween stickers and dies for that project. This is going to be a spooktacular card making Halloween for me. Thanks to Vickey from Florida for the inspiration. 👻💀
